A female patient was operated upon due to cervical oesophageal stricture induced by a tumour located just below the throat. Local excision of the tumour and reconstruction of the oesophageal wall was performed using the pre-vertebral fascia due to the presence of extensive oesophageal mucosa damage. The patient also required temporary alimentation by the gastrostomy route due to swallowing disturbances. The oesophagram depicted a contrasting airway passage without any evidence of fistula and contrast medium leakage through the oesophageal lumen. Four months after the operation, the patient did not report any issue with oral intake. The postoperative histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations provided evidence of a granular cell tumour (GCT). We believe that local excision of the tumour should always be considered in cases of tumours located close to the throat because it is less invasive than partial resection of a GCT in the oesophagus or oesophagogastrectomy.
